"Claude Code on the web" arrives, managing multiple tasks in parallel from a browser

#Claude Code#Anthropic#Cloud#AI History

On October 20, 2025, Anthropic released “Claude Code on the web” as a research preview, letting users delegate coding tasks to Claude Code straight from a browser. Without opening a local terminal, users can run multiple coding tasks in parallel on Anthropic’s cloud infrastructure and manage them while checking progress.

Details

  • Parallel task execution: Multiple coding sessions spanning different repositories can be launched and managed simultaneously from a single screen
  • Real-time progress tracking: Users can check on Claude’s work at any time and give course-correcting instructions as needed
  • Automatic pull request creation: Automatically generates PRs with a summary of the changes, connecting directly into the review process
  • Mobile support: An early preview on the iOS app was also offered at the same time
  • Intended use cases: Bug fixes, routine maintenance, and backend changes involving test-driven development, among others
  • Sandbox environment: Provides an isolated sandbox for each task, restricting network and filesystem access. Interaction with Git goes through a secure proxy that can only access authorized repositories
  • Availability: Initially available to Pro and Max plan users. Users can get started by connecting a GitHub repository at claude.com/code, with usage sharing rate limits with other Claude Code usage

What happened next

On November 12, 2025, availability expanded to premium-seat users on Team and Enterprise plans as well. This direction toward agentic coding untethered from a local machine went on to become the foundation for the background agent features that followed.
